Chen Meng looked at me with a proud look on his face. The triumphant look on his face was disgusting.
"It turns out it was you who did it." I said with a cold expression.
"Haha, my Chen family has a Heavenly Lord in the Yunwang Palace. Just saying hello can make it difficult for you to move in the Yunwang Palace. How can you, a lonely person, fight with us?" Chen Meng sneered.
"There are a total of eighteen Heavenly Lords and two hundred Earthly Lords in the Yunwang Palace. I don't believe that the Chen family can cover the sky with just one hand in the Yunwang Palace?" My face was as dark as water.
"Of course our Chen family doesn't have that kind of strength, but you have to remember that no one likes an unstable person. The cake is only so big. If you, Yan Ye, are allowed to prosper in the Yunwang Palace, then everyone will
If you all come to share a piece of the pie, can our aristocratic family still hang out?"
After listening to Chen Meng's words, I thought to myself that Yunjie was really rotten to the core. If all the resources were in the hands of the wealthy families, what room for advancement would there be for the people at the bottom?
"I have long heard that there are many shady things in the Cloud Realm. This time I really saw it. For your own benefit, you aristocratic families have actually joined forces to monopolize the resources of the entire Cloud Realm." I sneered.
"The world is as black as crows, Yan Ye, the rules of this world are like this. If you don't have a background and want to rise, you have to rely on other forces and become part of them. Otherwise, you are just stealing meat. No aristocratic family will tolerate it.
You behave like this, so you have to make some changes." Chen Meng said meaningfully.
"What changes?"
"Work for my Chen family." Chen Meng went straight to the point and said: "You can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. With my Chen family's big tree, you will no longer be subject to any constraints in the future, and you can be successful in the cloud world.
The water rises."
"Should I work for your Chen family, or should I be your dog?" I said with a half-smile.
"Don't say it so harshly. You work for our Chen family, and our Chen family will protect you. This is mutually beneficial, and it's a win-win situation." Chen Meng said in a deep voice.
"But I don't want to win-win with you, because
This reminds me of a word - collaborating, I'm afraid I will feel uneasy about my conscience if I stay with you uncle snake." I said in a sarcastic tone.
Hearing this, Chen Meng's face darkened and he said in an unkind tone: "You'd better be careful with your words."
"I have used my words very euphemistically." I looked at Chen Meng with disdain and said disdainfully, "If the martyrs of the past knew that later generations had given birth to moths like you, I am afraid that even the coffin boards would not be able to hold them down. If all the martyrs in the world knew,
If people are like you, mankind will perish sooner or later."
"If the sky falls, there will naturally be a tall man to hold it up. What does that have to do with me?" Chen Meng said disdainfully: "I'm not that noble. If you say I'm a moth, I'm a moth. Anyway, I just have a good life. As for perishing, what's the matter?
Yes, it’s still very early, and there’s no telling whether I can survive until then.”
Hearing this, I shook my head, knowing that there was no need to stay, so I didn't say anything more, but turned around and left the underground palace.
"Yan Ye, you really refuse to eat and drink as a punishment. Do you really think you can fight against a wealthy family?"
"Without the protection of aristocratic families, you wouldn't be able to survive in the Cloud Realm!"
"Sooner or later, you will regret your actions today!"
Chen Meng's hysterical threats and intimidations kept coming from behind, but I didn't care anymore. I walked out of the hall with a gloomy face and a very bad mood.
I had not been in the four-star realm before and could not see such a high world. Naturally, I did not know what the true face of the holy world was, but now I somewhat understand it.
Thousands of years of development have solidified classes. It is completely difficult for the people at the bottom to get up. Low-level practitioners still cannot see this phenomenon. They only need a little soup from the upper level to feed them.
You are full, but this phenomenon will become particularly obvious after reaching four stars, because the four-star strong players need too many resources to move up, so much that they can already get a share of the pie.
Therefore, in order to avoid the loss of profits, many aristocratic families joined forces to block the ascending channel, making it difficult for individual cultivators to move forward. Yan Ye's experience is a typical example.
This matter is actually quite scary, because as resources are gradually concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people, those truly capable talents are destined to be buried. If things go on like this, the birth of new blood will become increasingly difficult, which is different from the natural
What's the difference between digging a grave?
I felt that I should do something, but I didn't know how to start. Just when I was thinking about how to break the situation, a laughter sounded behind me.
"Haha, brother Yan Ye, if you have nowhere to go, why not join my sect."
I followed the voice and saw a handsome, bookish man standing behind me at some point. I was shocked at that time.
Being able to approach me quietly under my nose is enough to show that his strength is far superior to mine.
"Senior, is he a powerful Earth Master?" I asked tentatively.
Hearing this, the visitor shook his head and pretended to be profound: "No."
"...Senior Tianzun, please speak up if you have anything to say."
Seeing that I directly revealed the other party's identity, the scholar man's eyes widened immediately when he saw it, and said: "Why is this different from what is written in the book? Shouldn't you be unable to guess my identity and wait for me to announce it?"
"What's wrong with this? If you are not the Earth Lord, then you can only be the Heavenly Lord. Could it be that you are still the Master of the Yunwang Palace?" The corner of my mouth twitched, why did this man look so funny?
"That's not true. The master of the palace is in the holy realm, and I'm still far away." The man chuckled, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself.
: "Let's get to know each other. I'm in Xiajiang Zhihuai, the Heavenly Lord of the Yunwang Palace."
"Nice to meet you." Jiang Zhihuai and I shook hands. After a moment, I hesitated and said, "Senior's name sounds familiar to me. Are you... from Ye Jie?"
Jiang Zhihuai was stunned for a moment and said: "How do you know? Could it be that... you are also from Ye Jie?"
"No, no, I just have a friend from Ye Jie, and I happened to hear about your legend from him. I didn't expect to see Senior Jiang here." I explained.
This Jiang Zhihuai was once very famous in the Ye world and was one of the best young geniuses, but there was no news about him later. It turned out that he had gone to the Cloud world.
"Senior, I don't dare. I'm only a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Huai." Jiang Zhihuai said with a smile. It was obvious that he was very down-to-earth and familiar.
"Brother Huai." I smiled, and then asked: "You are so majestic, but you have taken a fancy to me, a newcomer who has just entered the four-star level. I really don't know what you like about me?"
"Because our experiences are very similar." Jiang Zhihuai said slowly: "I myself came from a humble background and I know the difficulties of the people at the bottom, so naturally I can't stand the domineering practices of those wealthy families. Now I see them oppressing you.
, I really can’t sit back and ignore it.”
When I heard this, my heart moved and I said, "Brother Huai can't stand them either?"
"Of course, I have been working hard to break their blockade over the years, and I have gathered a group of like-minded partners around me. They are all independent people with no background like you. If you are willing, you can join our sect, and I will
I'll arrange a dignitary for you." Jiang Zhihuai nodded.
Hearing this, I thought for a moment, thinking that joining Jiang Zhihuai's sect would be better than joining another land lord, and Jiang Zhihuai was still a fellow villager. Thinking of this, I nodded.
